Use Cases

full featured browsers who are missing a few
SC, but have extensions that could conform.

extensions and plugins that provides a feature
or subset of features to a full functioning user agent
(browser)

note: media players fit here.
Maybe pdf reader

<allanj> single purpose app
that the user interface and the content interface is the
same

question: do want to have UAAG conformance for
those extensions and plugins?

-- we eliminated AT, because it couldn't
conform because it was specialized.

-- maybe different because they become part of
the browser

<allanj> we added extensions,
they are part of the user interface

<allanj> modify the behavior
of the UA

JS: What do we gain from
certifying extensions and plugins? It is making things very
complicated

<allanj> an extension does
nothing without being connected to the browser

<allanj> AT is stand alone
and doesn't need a browser to function

JS: but they do become part of
the user interface, and therefore need to be conformant when
installed. So possibly follow the ATAG model of saying they
can't block conformance of the full featured user agent.
... they can't modify the user interface so that they make it
inaccessible.

<allanj> AT can be
inaccessible, they are providing access to a particular class
of people. should be possible for an extension to do the
same

Apps can full featured apps that conform.
Example, Facebook app on mobile covers all different types of
media.

JA: Facebook on Android doesn't
have font size adjustment, which means it can't comply on the
Android, because Android doesn't have zoom.

<allanj> app are fully
conformant then gets rated a a full browser

Use Case: App that needs the platform features
to be conformant, e.g. zoom.

scribe: Facebook app on iOS can
zoom, but Android cannot, so Facebook on Android is not
accessible to low vision users, or my husband without his
reading glasses.
... I think this is covered by Jan's platform proposal

Use case: Apps with constrained content, like
the American Airlines app.

<allanj> UAWG will be finding
2 implementations for each SC, and will have to
test/document/track each one for every SC

JS: Apps on the iOS can zoom, but
the zoom has to be enabled. The American Airlines app on the
iOS loging page doesn't zoom. The Music player app doesn't
zoom. The text is too small and doesn't increase. Not
accessible.

<allanj> zaikim, please
part

JS: Large fonts on iOS platform
settings are not applied to apps, not Facebook, not Linked In,
or on Music player. They were applied to Notepad, but not the
Notepad dates, which stayed in the small system font.
